The EPA has announced that external power adapters will no longer be eligible for the Energy Star Label because the adapters have become much more efficient since they were first covered under the program.

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati and start-up Gamma Dynamics have developed a new e-display design that combines the high-speed, high-color-saturation capabilities of cell phones and laptops with the low-power electrofluidics of e-readers.

The U.S. Army is evaluating full-color flexible displays that can be worn on the wrist. The prototypes are built on foil-backed amorphous silicon electronics and use efficient organic light-emitting diode materials that consume one-fourth the power of a conventional OLED.
